NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms All books, papers, maps, photographs, machine-readable materials, or other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by an agency of the United States government under federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency or its legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the government or because of the informational value of the data in them. [44 U.S.C. SEC. 3301] SOURCE: FIPS 200 Records Management – The process for tagging information for records-keeping requirements as mandated in the Federal Records Act and the National Archival and Records Requirements. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Recovery Point Objective – The point in time to which data must be recovered after an outage. SOURCE: SP 800-34 Recovery Time Objective – The overall length of time an information system’s components can be in the recovery phase before negatively impacting the organization’s mission or mission/business functions. SOURCE: SP 800-34 Recovery Procedures – Actions necessary to restore data files of an information system and computational capability after a system failure. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 RED – In cryptographic systems, refers to information or messages that contain sensitive or classified information that is not encrypted. See also BLACK. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Red Signal – Any electronic emission (e.g., plain text, key, key stream, subkey stream, initial fill, or control signal) that would divulge national security information if recovered. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Red Team – A group of people authorized and organized to emulate a potential adversary’s attack or exploitation capabilities against an enterprise’s security posture. The Red Team’s objective is to improve enterprise Information Assurance by demonstrating the impacts of successful attacks and by demonstrating what works for the defenders (i.e., the Blue Team) in an operational environment. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Pg 152
NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Red Team Exercise – An exercise, reflecting real-world conditions, that is conducted as a simulated adversarial attempt to compromise organizational missions and/or business processes to provide a comprehensive assessment of the security capability of the information system and organization. SOURCE: SP 800-53 Red/Black Concept – Separation of electrical and electronic circuits, components, equipment, and systems that handle unencrypted information (Red), in electrical form, from those that handle encrypted information (Black) in the same form. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Reference Monitor – The security engineering term for IT functionality that— 1) controls all access, 2) cannot be bypassed, 3) is tamper-resistant, and 4) provides confidence that the other three items are true. SOURCE: SP 800-33 Concept of an abstract machine that enforces Target of Evaluation (TOE) access control policies. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Registration – The process through which a party applies to become a subscriber of a Credentials Service Provider (CSP) and a Registration Authority validates the identity of that party on behalf of the CSP. SOURCE: SP 800-63; CNSSI-4009 Registration Authority (RA) – Registration Authority – (RA) A trusted entity that establishes and vouches for the identity of a subscriber to a CSP. The RA may be an integral part of a CSP, or it may be independent of a CSP, but it has a relationship to the CSP(s). SOURCE: SP 800-63; CNSSI-4009 Organization responsible for assignment of unique identifiers to registered objects. SOURCE: FIPS 188 Rekey – To change the value of a cryptographic key that is being used in a cryptographic system/application. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Rekey (a certificate) – To change the value of a cryptographic key that is being used in a cryptographic system application; this normally entails issuing a new certificate on the new public key.
